Title: Are We the Byzantines?

The Byzantines never woke up in time to understand what they had become. Will Americans?

When Constantinople finally fell to the Ottomans on Tuesday, May 29, 1453, the Byzantine Empire and its capital had survived for 1,000 years beyond the fall of the Western Empire at Rome.

Always outnumbered in a sea of enemies, the Byzantines’ survival had depended on its realist diplomacy of dividing its enemies, avoiding military quagmires, and ensuring constant deterrence.

Generations of self-sacrifice ensured ample investment for infrastructure. Each generation inherited and improved on singular aqueducts and cisterns, sewer systems, and the most complex and formidable city fortifications in the world.

Brilliant scientific advancement and engineering gave the empire advantages like swift galleys and flame throwers—an ancient precursor to napalm.

The law reigned supreme for nearly a millennium after the emperor Justinian codified a prior thousand years of Roman jurisprudence.

Yet this millennium-old crown jewel of the ancient world that once was home to 800,000 citizens had only 50,000 inhabitants left when it fell.

There were only 7,000 defenders on the walls to hold back a huge Turkish army of over 150,000 attackers.

The Islamic winners took over the once magical city of Constantine and renamed it Istanbul. It had been the home of the renowned Santa Sophia, the largest Christian church in the world for over 900 years. Almost immediately, this “Church of the Holy Wisdom” was converted into the then largest mosque in the Islamic world, with minarets to follow.

So what happened to the once indomitable city fortress and its empire?

Christendom had cannibalized itself. Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy fought endlessly. Westerners often hated each other more than they did their common enemy.

In the final days of Constantinople, almost no help was sent from Western Europe to the besieged city.

In fact, 250 years earlier, the Western Franks of the Fourth Crusade had detoured from the Holy Land to storm the supposedly allied Christian City of Constantinople.

Then they ransacked the city and hijacked the Byzantine Empire for a half-century. Constantinople never quite recovered.

The 14 th-century Black Plague killed tens of thousands of Byzantines and scared thousands more into moving out of the cramped city.

But the aging and dying empire battled more than the challenges of internal divisions, or an unforeseen but deadly pandemic and the empire’s disastrous responses to it.

The last generations of Byzantines had inherited a global reputation and standard of living that they themselves no longer earned.

They neglected their former civic values and fought endless battles over obscure religious texts, doctrines, and vocabulary.

They did not expand their anemic army and navy. They did not reunite their scattered Greek-speaking empire. They did not properly maintain their once life-giving walls.

Instead of earning money through their accustomed nonstop trade, they inflated their currency and were forced to melt down the city’s inherited gold and silver fixtures.

The once canny and shrewd Byzantines grew smug and naïve. Childlessness became common. Most now preferred to live outside of what had become a half-empty, often dirty, and poorly maintained city.

Meanwhile they underestimated the growing power of the Ottomans who systematically pruned away their empire. By the mid-15th century Islamic armies were ready to exploit fatal Byzantine weaknesses.

The Sultan Mehmed II grandly announced the Ottomans were now the real, the only world power. Ascendent Ottoman armies would eventually move on to the very gates of Vienna in an effort to rule all the lands of the ancient Roman empire.

We should take heed from the last generations of the Byzantines.

Nowhere is it foreordained that America has a birthright to remain the world’s preeminent civilization.

An ascendent China seems eerily similar to the Ottomans. Beijing believes that the United States is decadent, undeserving of its affluence, living beyond its means on the fumes of the past—and very soon vulnerable enough to challenge openly.

Left and Right seem to hate each other more than they do their common enemies.

Like the Byzantines, Americans gave up defending their own borders, and simply shrugged as millions overran them as they pleased.

Our once iconic downtowns, like end-stage Constantinople before the fall, are now dirty, half-deserted, dangerous, and dysfunctional.

America prints rather than makes money, as its banks totter near bankruptcy.

Americans similarly believe they are invincible without ensuring in reality that they are. Our military is more worried about being woke than deadly.

Like Byzantines, Americans have become snarky iconoclasts, more eager to tear down art and sculpture that they no longer have the talent to create.

Current woke dogma, obscure word fights, and sanctimonious cancel culture are as antithetical to the past generations of World War II as the last generation of Constantinople was to the former great eras of the emperors Constantine, Justinian, Heraclius, and Leo.

The Byzantines never woke up in time to understand what they had become.

So far neither have Americans.

Byzantium lasted 1,000 years after the fall of Rome. America will be lucky to last 1,000 days from the collapse of SVB and the Signature bank.

several times over as this man was saying somewhere in this video:

We’ve Been Lubavitched (Video)

stateofthenation.co/?p=158166

(It's also at SOTN under the title "Chabad-Lubavitcher-planted seeds of World War 3").

Nowhere is it foreordained that America has a birthright to remain the world’s preeminent civilization.

You know I disagree with that. I had problems with getting it to format just a bit ago, so here's a link to my response to your post about the J6 political prisoners, that kind of explains what I mean:

http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/re...i?ArtNum=270402&Disp=2#C2

==========

edit. i'm listening again to the video while i try to clean up my computer.

at about 11:59 he says: "People have to realize, this is not a political war. This is a holy war."

See Psalm 2:6 and the rest of Psalm 2. Holy War. I believe Psalm 2 is ultimately a promise for Christian America. Micah 4:1-2 and Psalm 2:6 were just a couple of the promises made to Israel that began to be ultimately fulfilled with the planting of the cross and the dedication of this land to Christ and the spreading of the gospel. The church is Israel now: https://revealinglifetruth.org/uploads/6/9/0/5/69052901/the_church_is_israel_now.pdf

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs to the promise.

https://biblehub.com/galatians/3-29.htm

Psalm 2 https://www.biblehub.com/kjv/psalms/2.htm

Holy War

Remember what Freemason Cornwallis told Freemason George Washington...(and Freemasonry is Jewish):

"A Holy War will now begin against America..."

The Jews say (It might have been Maimonides) "Jews must wage Holy War against all nations not under our jurisdiction..." In the beginning, the cry of the colonists was "No King but Jesus!" We were under HIS jurisdiction. [Too much to go into, but think a bit on the fraudulent 14th Amendment and its statement on being "under the jurisdiction" of the (Satanic) federal government..not to mention the CONstitution itself, which declared it was the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, not "The Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver."]

at about 11:59 he says: "People have to realize, this is not a political war. This is a holy war."

A little before that he says the mantra is that America is EVIL, and the only nation fighting EVIL is Russia.

I was reading about this last night at fitzinfo, where E. Michael Jones was saying America BAD; Putin GOOD (not)...

(and Russia is in on this...I'll post the links in awhile)

E. Michael Jones is a KGB asset and guilty of immeasurable treason against the USA/West

"...Jones: “Russia is the only power interested in acting according to moral principles.” (40)

“The biggest problem in Poland is Russophobia.” (41)

“Russia is not a problem in the world, the US is the main problem in the world. Russia is officially Christian, in the way the United States is not.” (42)

Yet, as Russian Orthodox writer Vladimir Moss informed in 2015:

“Far from leading the world in the practice of Christian virtue, Russia is perhaps the most corrupt country of all.” (44)

And Russian Political Scientist Andrei Piontkovsky, 2019:

“Nationalism is the religion of Russians, who are mostly atheists.” (45)

Furthermore:

Pew Research 2017: “Just 6% of Russian Orthodox Christians attend church weekly.” (46)

“In 2010, a psychologist with the Russian Academy of Sciences cited WHO data indicated there were more occult/faith healers (800,000) in Russia than professional doctors (640,000). Russia’s Academy of Sciences estimates 67% of all Russian women have sought help from a psychic or sorcerer; for Russian men – one in four. In 2013, the country’s leading cardiologist complained that his fellow citizens spend almost £20 billion every year on magical and paranormal services.” (47)

Russian Interior Ministry 2008: “Satanism greater threat to national security than Islamic radicalism.” (48)

And Russia’s abortion rate is nearly twice that of the US and Putin supports both abortion and gay rights:

Putin on abortion 2017: “The decision is up to the woman herself.”

Putin 2014: “I know some people who are gay and we are on friendly terms. Homosexual people can’t feel inferior here, because there is no professional, career or social discrimination against them.” (49)

To crown it all, Putin banned evangelisation in 2016.

Hannu Haukka, president of Great Commission Media Ministries:

“This new situation resembles the Soviet Union in 1929. At that time confession of faith was permitted only in church.” (50)

None of this is even remotely reported by Jones. And Jones also supported the Russian annexation of Crimea. (51)

3) Rejection of Western Civilisation.

Dugin: “An important aspect of the Eurasian worldview is an absolute denial of Western civilization.” (52)

“The West is the hereditary house of Satan and Iran is the main base of war against modernity.” (53)

Jones: “The USA is abandoning everything Western civilisation has stood for in 2000 years. Eurasia is one of the great movements of civilisation in human history.” (54)

“During the reign of the Shah of Iran (before the 1979 Islamic revolution), everything Western was unreasonably praised in Iran.” (55)

“Iran is the leader of the free world, not the USA.” (56)

“Western Civilisation will not survive.” (57)

In February of this year, Jones participated in an event called ‘AMERICA’S DEMISE’, held by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry. Dugin also took part..."

http://fitzinfo.net/2020/12/25/e...son-against-the-usa-west/

That last part reminds me of DEATH OF THE PHOENIX, FINAL ACT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [the Jews have been planning our demise at least since they foisted THEIR CONstitution on us]:

"...The Great Seal of the United States, which is displayed on the back of the dollar bill, is evidence that the United States was predestined by its Zionist founders to self-destruct. For the Eagle which adorns the Seal was originally a Phoenix, the occult symbol of self-immolation:...

The multitude of Judeo-Masonic symbols on the currency of the United States is like the handwriting on the wall which forecasts the downfall of another great superpower. However, these symbols also reveal that the sacrifice of the United States of America by her own leaders was preordained from the time of the American Revolution, and probably well before. The Judeo-Freemasons also understood that the transition into their New World Order would not be a smooth process, and that they would need to attribute the whole messy business (“Ordo ab Chao”) to God Almighty, lest Americans discover the true perpetrators.

George Washington, a 33° Freemason and Charter Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22, purportedly had a vision of the destruction of the United States. If this vision truly originated with Washington, and is not a recent invention by the Judeo-Freemasons, it may have been a prediction of what was planned in that era for the USA. “A Vision of George Washington: "The Birth, the progress and the destiny of the United States” even has foreign armies invading the United States:

“Again I heard a mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.’

“At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa.

“Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one. And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of the cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities, which I had seen spring up.

“As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying,

“‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.’”

A preview of the terrors that have been planned for the U.S. is featured in a shocking video game that was released in October of 2005 and is being marketed to teenagers. The purpose of the game is to give young Americans experience in strategic combat against other regions of their own country which have seceded from the Union and divided into seven nation-states, including Washington, D.C. and surrounding states which are occupied by a European Union peacekeeping force.

“Shattered Union begins with a premise that hits way too close to home for Americans in these troubled times. A disputed Presidential election and a spate of domestic terrorism incidents push the United States into increased sectarian squabbling. When an atomic bomb detonates in Washington D.C., eliminating the entire Presidential line of succession, the U.S. breaks up into six squabbling nation states. The secession starts with California and Texas declaring their independence, followed quickly by the northwest states of Pacifica, the Great Plains, the New Confederacy, and the New England Alliance. The European Union, desperate to restore order to avoid the worldwide repercussions of a second Civil War, invades the area around Washington D.C. as an occupying army, effectively forms a seventh power on the continent. Each one is attempting to re-unite the United States and cast the new America in its own image…

“Following a great increase in terrorism, internal strife and, ultimately, the nuclear destruction of Washington, D.C., the United States shatters into a half dozen nation-states that descend into war…” (See the trailers: “Shattered Union: United We Stood”)

To justify the destruction of the USA, the Zionists must now portray America as “Babylon the Great” collapsing under the wrath of God, per Revelation 18. Surely, “Ichabod,” which means “the glory has departed,” could apply the United States in its degenerate condition today, yet the propagandists never mention that the Jewish-owned and controlled entertainment media has led the United States down the broad road to moral destruction.

Moreover, the Zionist cabal must incite the people of the world against Americans so that when their beloved country falls, the world will rejoice, never suspecting the truth. Which is why the ubiquitous propaganda mills on the Internet continuously revile the USA as “Babylon” and even gloat over its imminent demise. [[see also https://biblehub.com/micah/4-11.htm ]]. In 1921, Henry Ford exposed this shell game in his powerful expose, The International Jew:

“It is a most important consideration that most of the national animosities that exist today arose out of resentment against what Jewish money power did under the camouflage of national names.

“‘The British did this,’ ‘The Germans did this,’ when it was the International Jew who did it, the nations being but the marked spaces on his checker board. Today, around the world the blaming word is heard, ‘The United States did this. If it were not for the United States the world would be in a better shape. The Americans are a sordid, greedy, cruel people.’

“Why? Because the Jewish money power is centered here and is making money out of both our immunity and Europe’s distress, playing one against the other; and because so many so-called ‘American business men’ abroad today are not Americans at all - they are Jews.

“Citizens wake up with a start to find that even the white nations are hardly allowed to see each other nowadays except through Jewish eyes. Great Britain and France seldom see a special American spokesman who is not a Jew. That may be the reason why they reciprocate by sending Jews to us, thinking perhaps that we prefer them.” (The International Jew : Chapter 1)

This strategy has succeeded to the point that International Jewry now controls the governments of the world. By “International Jewry” is meant the high cabal of Jews who designate themselves the Learned Elders of Sion or, alternatively, the Priory of Zion or Prieuré de Sion. Under the direction of this high cabal of International Jewry is a global network of Masonic societies. The term “Judeo-Freemasonry” describes this network of secret societies more accurately than “Freemasonry” because it conveys the reality that these fraternities, the majority of which are comprised of Gentiles, are under the covert government of B’nai B’rith, which is under the direction of the Learned Elders of Sion of the 33º. [See: The Synarchy: "Judeo-Christian" Theocracy Fronts for International Banking Cartel]

Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, a pioneer of Reform Judaism in America, stated in 1855: “Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end.” (See: Heeding Bible Prophecy: New Israel)

The Jewish Tribune stated in 1927, “Freemasonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic ritual and what is left?”

The agenda of International Jewry, called “Zionism,” is the reestablishment of the Kingdom of Greater Israel to rule over the Gentile world. “Zionists” are agents of the high cabal who promote the agenda of the Elders of Sion, which also includes the destruction of Christianity in all of its forms. The terms “International Jewry” and “Zionist” do not apply to all Jews, but to those Jews who have rejected the God of Israel and, through deception and intrigue, are carrying out the directives of their god, Lucifer. [See: Mystery Babylon the Great: Catholic or Jewish?] "

The Perestroika Deception - Behind the Mask Part I

Putin is a proven fraud and communist, Russia and China in final preparations for military conquest of the West

"...In 2016, he revealed his true communist credentials, in declaring his like of communist and socialist doctrine:

‘You know that I, like millions of Soviet citizens, over 20 million, was a member of the Communist Party of the USSR and not only was I a member of the party but I worked for almost 20 years for an organization called the Committee for State Security,’ Putin said, referring to the KGB ‘I was not, as you know, a party member by necessity’ he said. “I liked communist and socialist ideas very much and I like them still.”(3)

Also in 2016, Putin made public evangelisation illegal.(4) Mr. Hannu Haukka, President of Great Commission Media Ministries, said, “This new situation resembles the Soviet Union in 1929. At that time, confession of faith was permitted only in church.”

And in 2018, in further affirmation that his apparent ‘Christianity’ is totally fake (5), he compared the mausoleum of Lenin with a Christian relic: “Putin went further by comparing the Communists’ attitude to the Bolshevik leader Lenin to the veneration of saints in Christianity. ‘Look, Lenin was put in a mausoleum.How is this different from the relics of saints for Orthodox Christians and just for Christians?”(6)..."

freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=264773

remember this is a holy war.

Maybe time to post this again...I didn't agree it was Russia. I was more inclined to thing Magog referred to the Jews who came OUT of Russia, but have come to see Putin's Russia is still controlled by the same forces. I still don't know if Putin is "Gog, the chief prince", but seeing how there have been chabad rumblings about him being their "messiah", he very well could be. Time will tell. I have fought "white Christian Identity" for years but the more they persecute whites the more it makes me wonder if the Israelites were, in fact, white. At any rate, all who believe in Christ are Israel now. Without further adieu, read and discern (I myself do not agree with every word):

WHAT DOES EZEKIEL 38 and 39 REALLY SAY?

A NEW LOOK AT EZEKIEL 38 and 39!

Part 1 of 4 - Chapter 38

by Brig. Gen. Jack Mohr, C.P.D.L.

"...Probably no portion of Scripture has even been twisted out of shape as much as these two chapters, which are sometimes referred to as the "Russian Chapters" of the Bible. That they deal with a future conflict which will be worse than anything this world has ever seen and which will be unleashed against the Israelite people in the "end times", becomes quite obvious. This attack will come from a monstrous military alliance which will sweep out of the North country, headed by the atheistic communists of the Soviet Union. There is very little argument here among Bible scholars.

But most of the "fundamental" and "evangelical" preachers, base their ideas on these chapters, not from a study of God's Word, but from the footnotes of a reprobate preacher named C. I. Schofield. His twisted theological concepts have so permeated the thinking of the fundamental Christian world, that it is almost considered "heresy" when anyone deviates from them. Often in Baptist churches, in particular, (and I can speak from experience, since I was a Baptist evangelist for eighteen years) the footnotes of the Schofield Reference Bible are held in as much respect as the text itself.

We could argue for many pages as to who is "right" and who is "wrong," and we would accomplish absolutely nothing, except to raise tempers. What I propose to do, is make a verse by verse study of these two chapters to see what they really say, not what men want them to say.

The "futurists" say the unregenerate Jew must be back in old Palestine before Jesus can return the Second Time and that this massive Russian military machine will sweep down from the North against the Jewish entity in Palestine, which we know today as the "Israeli."

But at this point, an interesting thing takes place, which surely should make any intelligent person question this. If you have watched the unfolding of history during this Twentieth Century, (I have seen over 70 years of it,) do you honestly believe that Russia has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of its national wealth, building the most massive military machine in the world's history, for the purpose of attacking a little nation of less than 4-million? Surely you must be kidding? Look where the ICBM's are pointed. They are not aimed at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. They are aimed at the capitol cities of the nations of Christendom, the primarily white-Christian nations of Europe and North America. There must be a reason for this. The major enemy of the Soviet Union is not that little patch of real estate in Palestine, which we call Israel. They a:re aimed against the Israel nations (tribes) who are resting safely in their God-given lands (2 Samuel 7:10). ..."

The United States Of America Foretold In The Holy Scriptures

and

The Battle Of Armageddon

by Rev. F. E. Pitts

Feb. 22 and 23, 1857

A DEFENSE OF ARMAGEDDON or Our Great Country Foretold In The Holy Scriptures

By F. E. PITTS of Nashville, Tennessee

In two discourses delivered in the capitol of the United States, at the request of several members of Congress, on the anniversary of Washington's birthday in 1857.

(Reprinted from) ELEVENTH EDITION

Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1857, by F. E. PITTS in the office of the Clerk of the District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

"Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." Psalm138:2

Doomed by an edict written in the sky, The monarchies of earth shall be no more: Heaven's sealed wonders open to the eye In rising glories on the western shore.

Editors comment: As you read keep in mind that this sermon was preached 80 years after we became a nation and 4 years before the civil war.

There are always two sides.

Rev. Pitts and other clergymen of times past claimed that God established the United States in 1776 in fulfillment of Bible prophecy and that these united 13 colonies, now 50, are "the mountains of Israel" mentioned in Ezekiel 38.

Modern radio and TV evangelists disagree. They say, "The nation called Israeli established in 1948 by The United Nations in Palestine, that nation is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Who is more correct?

Where and who are the "mountains of Israel" mentioned in Bible prophecy? Who will be invaded in the end-time? The United States or Palestine? [[HA!! Look at our Southern Border for starters!! From all over the world!!]].

The "mountains of Israel" are the single Israeli nation in Palestine. or These "mountains of Israel" are the fifty United States in North America. ...

moseshand.com/studies/pitts.html

I might skip the page after reading that bit to save time...it was written before this government became such a scourge.

Page 2 talks about this:

"...The United States of America is the nationality that is promised in the prophetic Scriptures to arise in the latter times as Israel Restored. It has long been a favorite theory, both with Jewish and Christian writers, that the nationality to be gathered together in the latter days, was understood to mean the returned or restoration of the scattered sons of Abraham to the land of Palestine.

We are not surprised at the confidence with which this opinion has been entertained from age to age, because it is a legitimate a priori interpretation, seeing this nationality is called "Israel" by the prophets.

In a conversation had with a venerable Bishop of the Episcopal Church, he inquired of us: "Sir, by what construction of language do you make the great nationality, promised to arise in the latter times, to mean the United States? That the Bible authorizes us to expect such a nationality there can be no doubt; but how do you make out that nationality to be the United States of America, as it was promised to be Israel?" To which we replied: "Beloved Bishop, the predictions of the prophets are put up in Hebrew dress; the regalia is Mosaic, the custom is Israelitish. They did not say, friends of civil and religious liberty, Americans, or even Christians; but they used the best terms they had on hand: they said 'Israel.'"..." etc. (this is my favorite page, although I don't agree with every jot and tittle on it either)

Nowhere is it foreordained that America has a birthright to remain the world’s preeminent civilization.

"... 0 happy America! O favored children of the free! when will the great heart of they mighty people fully know God and the salvation of his Son! "Then Gentiles and kings shall see thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken: neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: ( https://biblehub.com/isaiah/62-4.htm ) for the Lord delighteth in thee. "Then shall thy glory continue; for "Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.""

Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
